API. I've always had good experiences with them, they're readily available, inexpensive, and easy to use.
 
api for alk, once a week or so

salifert for cal and mag, cal once every 1-2 weeks, mag once a month or so.

Digital pH probe

To be honest ive never tested for anything else, wouldnt mind a nitrate kit, but i can look and see that its gotten high on me. I run gfo like i have high phosphate. I have way too many fish...
 
API- for nitrate, nitrite, ammonia. cheap and pretty accuate.

Salifert- Ca and Mg

LaMotte- Alk. Very accuate, once you get use to seeing the end point. Indicator is a tablet, not drop wise like salifert.
